Chicago & Beyond
Welcome to Chicago & Beyond, home to state-of-the-art facilities that
are perfect for just about every sporting event imaginable. Here you’ll
find some of Illinois’ largest outdoor sports venues, including Naperville’s
Frontier Park and Northwestern University’s 95,000-square-foot Henry
Crown Sports Pavilion. Both are just minutes from Chicago’s magnificent
downtown—full of renowned museums, attractions, shopping and
dining. Just an hour outside the city are the majestic greens of Aurora’s
Stonebridge Country Club and Sugar Grove, which have played host to
LPGA Championship Classics. The picturesque Kankakee River Valley
boasts NFL-caliber football fields and is home to Chicago Bears’ Training
Camp. With so much to offer, Chicago & Beyond will take your next
sporting event from ordinary to extraordinary.

Aurora is the state’s second-largest city, located 37
miles west of Chicago along I-88. Our area has great
experience hosting championship sporting events.
Aurora was a three-year host of the Kellogg-Keebler
Classic, and was the site of the National Baseball
Association Youth World Series. Sugar Grove, just west
of Aurora, hosted the prestigious LPGA Solheim Cup in
2009. Whatever the size, this sports-friendly area has
the venue to handle the event.
